In this second episode of In a Hairry, I do my hair for a very special night in. Watch the video to not only see who this mystery date is, but also to see if I can complete my 60s Hair Headband in time!

Im not going to say that this has to be for Valentines day, but it does make good date hair, am I right? And when I say date, you know I mean a night out/in with any of the following: your boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, the Lifetime Movie Network, Netflix, your favorite Brazilian, some Chinese take-out, a good book, a glass/bottle of wine, your kids, your cats, etc.

Instructions for my 60s Hair Headband:

Part your hair as desired.

Grab a section of hair above your ear, but far enough down that it will be covered by the hair on top of your head.

Cross the section of hair to the other side of your head, smoothing as you go and pin in place.

I made this flower crown for Piper Jane a few years ago and have found myself wearing it randomly around the apartment when I clean or brush my teeth or lift weights. If you havent ever experienced what its like to live alone, I recommend you try it. You will soon find that you are a very weird person. Things like lifting weights while wearing a childs size flower crown are just things you do sometimes. Anyway, this crown is way too small for me. It looks funny when my hair is down, but I thought it might look pretty with the old grab and pin up do I sometimes do. If you dont know what the old grab and pin up do is, you are so missing out! You just grab and pin! Sometimes you do a pony tail first (like I did here), sometimes you curl first, but then you just grab and pin! Im not kiddinworks every time.

Anyway, I made this crown with a simple crafting wire, green tape for your silk flowers needs, and silk flowers from Michaels. I do think it looks like its made out of silk flowers, but its still pretty. Ive had a good crush on flower crowns for a long time, and dont know why I havent made one for myself. Little Piper is probably sick of me borrowing the one I made for her anyway. I wouldnt mind having one of my own that fits my adult sized head properly, and that would allow me to wear my hair down. Also, I wouldnt mind mastering the REAL flower crown. Silkies are nice, but the scent of real flowers in my hair would make for a very good day. Still inspired by these ones.

PS all this talk about flower crowns has me thinking Halloween costume thoughts. Its never too soon you know.
